Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Your vehicle may have a tire sealant and compressor kit
that is capable of temporarily sealing a puncture up to
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm) in the tread area of the tire. If your vehicle
has this kit, there is no jack or spare tire. The kit inflates
the tire with liquid sealant and air. The tire sealant and
compressor kit can also be used to inflate an
underinflated tire. After the tire is inflated to the
recommended inflation pressure, see Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-60 for more information, the vehicle
must be driven for five miles to distribute the sealant in
the tire and to seal the puncture. After driving five miles,
the tire pressure must be rechecked and adjusted as
needed. See Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor
later in this section. Be sure to read and follow all of the
tire sealant and compressor kit instructions. The kit
includes the following:
A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Air Compressor
Accessory Plug
D. On/Off Switch
E. Air Pressure Gage
F. Air Compressor
Inflator Hose
G. Sealant Filling Hose
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer/retailer as soon as possible. If the sealant is
not removed from the tire within 100 miles
(161 kilometers) of driving, the dealer/retailer may
recommend that the tire be replaced.
